Morning Glories, part 3
Here are the explanations of the upper part of the design.
I added the following 2 colors, DMC 3078 and 225 to the palette proposed in the introductory post. The stitches used are the long and short stitch with 1 thread and the stem stitch with 2 threads.
I remind you that to get a nice result, it is necessary to surround each piece of the design with a split backstitch 1 thread.
Stems and leaves
The stems are all embroidered with stem stitch 2 threads by mixing all the green colors.
Begin by applying the color 500 at the bottom of the leaf.
.
Do the same in the upper part of the leaf with the color 368.
.
Finish filling the bottom of the leaf with the color 501.
.
In the same way, finish the filling of the upper part with the color 320.
.
Flower
lower part
As usual, I started by embroidering a split backstitch 1 thread all around the whole pattern.
Note that I made a small change to the horizontal petal lapel, finding it too thin on the right side.
I then placed the various veins with the color 797.
.
Then fill the upper part (in the shade as under the lapel) with the color 3838 intercalated between the veins.
.
Continue with color 3840.
.
Then with the white B5200.
.
Finish with color 3078.
I added a few stitches with the color 160 on the right side of the pattern to give an impression of shade. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture but you will see it in the following photos.
.
Flower
upper part
Start by putting the first touches of light with the 3840 color.
.
Add the color 3839.
.
Then fill the rest of the Corolla with the color 3838 leaving an empty part at the bottom.
.
Fill the remaining part with the color 797 by adding a few stitches in the top of the petals to give more life to the flower.
.
Embroider the backside of the petal with satin stitch and the color 3840 respecting the direction of the stitches.
